Safety all along the line

SAG sheds light where there's dark

Higher safety underground was the aim of the modernisation of the lighting systems of two Nuremberg underground lines.

With the cooperation of Siemens in the area of telecontrol engineering, 5,000 emergency lamps and 1,000 battery devices including cabling and controlling technology were installed by SAG in Nuremberg's subway.

Along the U1 and U2 lines, the consortium modernised the security lighting of the lines' 36 stations. Furthermore, 35 kilometres of tunnel lines were upgraded to meet current safety standards. Everything to guarantee that passengers and staff are not left in the dark when there's an emergency.
